College Prowler Take

While students mostly agree that living in the dorms isn’t a luxury, they do say that spending at least your freshman year there is a good experience. Students with experience in the dorms claim that the Quad and the brand-new Village are the best choices, while the Hill and the Extension are not up to par.

The Quad, Hill, and the Village are mostly coed but have a few all-girl buildings. The Village is brand new apartment-style dorms and is located right on campus near the football stadium and Coliseum. If you chose to live in the dorms, make sure to apply early to ensure a spot. Dorms tend to fill up very quickly, and off-campus housing is not always a guarantee. The fight for housing in Auburn can get pretty intense.

The dorms in the Quad are great. They're right in the middle of campus, so you always know what's going on. I plan on living here all four years. If you don't want to walk a long ways to class, avoid the Hill.

The dorms are pretty nice. The Quad is so convenient to everything, but the smallest out of the Hill, Extension, and the Village. The Hill dorms are a little larger than the Quad but older. The Village is the newest and consists of four bedrooms, a living room, and kitchenette.

The Village is going to be sick. The Quad and Hill dorms are a more generic dorm experience.

Everyone complains about the dorms, but I personally don’t see what’s so bad about them. Sure, you have to share a room with another person and a bathroom with three people, but living in the dorms is a good experience for everyone. Everyone should live there, at least for their freshman year. Off-campus housing is sometimes hard to come by and usually pretty expensive.

The dorm life is an easy way to get involved around campus. None of them are awful, besides Boyd on the Hill.
